Meditation Offerings
Meditation is a transformational tool which helps us re-learn how to deeply relax Body and Mind - but more than that, Meditation helps us to taste that Deeper Dimension of Who We Really Are.
No matter where you are on your Meditation Journey, there are Courses to meet you, inspire you, and open you to the Truth that You Are.
Currently four distinct Meditation Experiences are offered: Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreats (In-Person in Devon); The Anchoring Within 5-Week e-Course (Online); the 21-Day Meditation Invitation (Online) and the One-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat (In-Person in Devon).
"Meditation is listening. It is going back to your own Center. Meditation is learning to relate to life, to your environment, from Who You Are, not from the way other people try to define you. Meditation will enable you to return to the peace you seek, at the Center of your Being."
Swami Kriyananda.

What people say...
"My first ever retreat. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. I was welcomed with open arms from the second I arrived, Turiya is such a beautiful soul. The yoga itself was top quality and I have learnt so much about not only yoga and meditation techniques but also about myself. I have come home completely renewed and as light as a feather."
Rebecca, England

Why Meditate?
Inner Freedom
Meditation offers relief from addictions and limiting, self-destructive patterning.
Deep Rest
Meditation is one route to relaxing, calming and de-stressing, boosting Rest & Digest functioning in the body.
Outer Stability
Meditation boosts creativity and confidence, giving composure to act in constructive ways.
Wider Perspective
Meditation offers us clarity as to Who We Really Are and what our Life Purpose is.
Inner Happiness
Meditation increases the release of happy hormones, improves sleep, as well as listening and empathy skills.
Increased Awareness
Meditation helps us to generate awareness of thoughts, emotions, reactions and actions.
Meditation was a big "Aha" Moment.
Ever since I was young, I've had a busy, imaginative Mind.
But it's one thing to choose when to use your Mind, and it's another if your Mind is constantly switched on, leaving little space for you to simply Be in the Present Moment.
The Mind is an amazing tool. It's an instrument. But sadly, for many of us, we've forgotten that it only needs to be used for particular tasks like calculating, analysing, evaluating. The constant stream of thoughts, the incessant labelling, commenting and judging doesn't need to be part of our daily reality.
Through Meditation, I realised that I am not just my thoughts. I am the Thinker of my thoughts, and there is a Space from which thoughts rise and fall.
Through Meditation I remembered that thoughts are just like clouds in the sky. They come and they go. But no matter the number of clouds or thoughts, behind them all is an ever-present, unchanging, vast blue sky. This blue sky is our portal to freedom, a doorway to this Background of Stillness which lies Within.
Through Meditation I remember, return and rest in this Background of Stillness Within.
This profound realisation brought huge transformation to my Life, - the way I view Life, the way I enjoy Life, the way I live Life.
And the best news? It's possible and available for you too.
